you don't even need `<!doctype html>`. I'm sure it's easy to look up when that was added/recommended, but i've never used it when i do a 94 html page/site like this. html head title /title /head body /body /html 'sit

		Minimal valid HTML5: `<!doctype html> <title>Hello</title> <h1>Hello World</h1>`

		That particular doctype is HTML5. I was making a too-subtle joke about slapping it on '94 HTML.

I also do that and a couple other things. I used mostly '94 HTML for the comment, to try to make a point.

if the server supplies this as a header, it's not necessary.
